I hate to say it but this is might seem like a good idea in theory I suspect it would be a horrible one in practice.
Even if you exclude cheater accounts and prevent people from using multiple alts in the same game you will likely experience all sort of rampant cheating.
For instance suppose Scullyangel and myself wanted to collude in order to lock out people from the leaderboard. We each could use our flezz gathering alts to gain a lot of and then we could go to this game of texas hold ‘em.
In game 1 we each bet conservatively on hands that we can’t win however using IRC or Instant messaging we determine that one hand Scully has a great hand and should by all rights win the pot. We take turns running up the pot and most importantly pushing other players out of the final bet. At that point in time my alt and scully are still in the game, we know that Scully will win the hand so I go all in (or max bet if there is a table limit) and intentionally lose. At that point Scully pockets my “bet” and can make up a good bit of ground on whoever is the current flezz leader.
Considering each of us have 12+ level capped alts this is obviously a great way of bypbuming the current limits on deliveries. When scully gets all of her alts with the flezz peen then she proceeds to help me do the same thing with my alts.
As long as an alliance of alts can gain more flezz than any other alliance it would be rather easy to hoard the peen (and any sort of gambling related peens) between a select group of players. This phenomenon already happens in regards to domination I’m not sure it would be good to extend it to other facets of the game. |
